Rich Becker

Richard Godhard Becker
Batted: Left
Threw: Left
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 193 lbs.

Drafted: 3rd round 1990 by the Minnesota Twins
Acquired: traded from the Twins for
Alex Ochoa, December 1997
Departed: claimed on waivers by the Baltimore Orioles, June 1998

 

Rich started out as a top prospect for the Twins, but after he was traded away from Minnesota he gave new meaning to the phrase "journeyman." When the Mets dealt for him, they said he might be the next Lenny Dykstra. Umm, nope. Pictured here is his oversized 1998 Pinnacle Snapshots card.  A handful of standard-sized cards are shown below.

This is a list of the cards of this player that I had in my Mets collection before I transferred the ownership of said collection to another diligent and capable Mets fan. The cards that are listed in light gray print and struck through are cards that were sold for charity prior to my divestiture.  The cards listed in white text are the ones that still remained until that final deal.  Items listed in green I kept out of the deal, just so I'd have something to display in my office and den.  At the bottom and listed in orange text are cards that I picked up after the dealing was done, in order to maintain a certain continuity at this site; that is, so I'd have a card to show you at the top of the page, and maybe in the autographs and game-used areas.  If an orange card is struck through, it has also departed the collection.  I am still accepting donations, should you feel so moved.  Contact me by following this link: NYMHall.
